Ask the TUAW Readers: Best use for a Newton

TUAW reader Paul writes in to tell us he just picked up a used Messagepad 120 for under ten bucks. (Lucky guy!) It should arrive later this week. So, now what? As a proud new Newton owner, what are the best ways to use his new gadget?

Well, Paul, before throwing this out to our readership at large, let me suggest that you use the Newton for organizing your life, taking free-hand notes and for shooting off faxes. That's what I used the Newton for when I had one in my life. It was a fabulous (although bulky) companion for meetings and classes--kind of a over-powered and slightly-overlarge Palm Pilot. And that doesn't even begin to address "Newton Poetry", the surreal interpretations of the not-quite-accurate Newton handwriting interpreter.

Readers, what other suggestions do you have for Paul and his new toy? How can he best make use of the Messagepad?
